Black lines on nails

13

I've noticed on some of my toe and fingernails I've got thin black lines. No pain or anything but they're definitely there. I wondered if I'd hit them and caused bruising or bleeding but I don't think I have and it's unlikely I'd have it on my toe and fingernails. 

Does anyone here know what this could be? I'm wondering if it's vitamin related. Maybe I need more dairy in my diet?

If you think it's more serious and might need further investigation then I'll call the doctors but my anxiety is so bad I can hardly leave the house. So doctors are a last resort. If anyone knows what these black lines are your Insight is welcome and thanks:)

    Hi Chloe Mod,

    Actually no one gave me advice, Shardovan very kindly suggested what it could be and was actually spot on. It was iron deficiency and I am a lot better now. And Number suggested I could be a zebra which was my doctor's second guess......who knew right!?!

    Thanks guys. I appreciate your help all those months ago it helped me a lot that day.
